I want you to know that I'm not trying to put anyone down, but as a life lesson the first thing you should note when going to a forum or website or whatever for help is that you must NEVER just say, "I've tried to make it work, but I just have no luck getting it to work - please tell me how to make it work." Whoever is on the opposite side is then required to ask you what steps you've taken, what errors you may be getting, what is the behavior of what you're working with, and so on. So, to make the most of your experience and to get your problem resolved in the minimum amount of time you should:
  1. Read every recent post (and by recent I mean those at least 60 days or newer for a forum such as this) with a subject line relating to your problem topic.
  2. If you still do not find anything of use, then post a new question.
  3. In that question, you must give as much information as you are able. This includes behavior, errors, messages, setup, etc... in order to help expedite your problem or help the people correctly determine your problem. Remember, many different potential problems look alike to some degree, giving enough information to help weed them down to yours can be of great help!
  4. If you are having repeat problems, please report errors or bugs to the author or the authoring entity.
Okay, now that we got that out of the way, please read and review these posts/links:

Also please read the file:
FRC2006 - camera demo instructions.pdf

This file is included with the CMUCam2 application, and contains important setup and usage information (as well as software requirements).

EDIT: When installing NI-VISA, just go with the defaults. Fortunately you don't need to install anything else unless you're using a National Instruments DAQ device!
